The Irish parents of a baby girl who survived her mother's miscarriage and follow-up treatment with the abortion pill have spoken out for the first time.

“She is just a big healthy pudding of a baby,” mother Michelle Hui proudly told The Mirror about her now 18-week-old miracle child Megan.

The 31-year-old from Co. Kildare suffered a devastating miscarriage on her way to work one morning in July 2013, six weeks in to her pregnancy. Hui was taken to Dublin’s Rotunda Hospital, where after five separate scans, doctors confirmed that she had indeed miscarried.

She was given the abortion pill to ensure that nothing was left in her uterus, as this could potentially cause an infection. Though doctors said there was no chance she was still carrying, they had Hui take a pregnancy test, which would reveal if any potentially harmful clots remained.

The pregnancy test was positive, so Hui returned to the hospital for a surgical removal. It was during preparation for this procedure that doctors found themselves stunned and in disbelief – one of the scans showed a heartbeat.

It turned out Hui had been carrying twins, one of which survived the miscarriage.
